Why do intellectually superior humans have around 7,000 distinct languages?

[VirOptimus]

Not so much incredulity as mathematically impossible.

Math is not physics, its pure logic.

 

[DogmaHunter]

Hey, at least I could understand them!
After Babel this tends to happen. So?? Are you leading to some point?

You thought the fact that new words and stuff appear over time required some genius study? Ha.

Your stupidity knows no bounds.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

The concept of a singularity beyond space time is pure science fiction. That theory exceeds the defined domain of science.

By what authority can you say that?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Sorry, all your 'map' had was a declaration it knew where it was going, with no details. I cannot believe you were born in a town called reality.

... okay. Now see, that's a lot of words, which have absolutely zero substance.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

This has what to do with all languages on earth? This has what to do with evidence for your vague doubts?

You're the one who changed the topic away from your own OP!

The point was that if people claim to know where they are and where they are going, they should be able to do more than have a blank paper they call a map.

Does that mean I get to change it back? No sense trying to follow you down a dead end street sidebar issue I guess.

... again, this is really just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

No, I'll grant you that one.

So if you have some reality to post that is semi topical, why not simply do it?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

That's what I've been doing. But you seem to think that you and you alone exist in your own reality and everyone else doesn't. Very close to solipsism.

 

[usexpat97]

I have arrived at basically the same assessment as dad: that Warden's interest in intellectual honesty just isn't there. It's why I haven't engaged in this discussion more. It's pointless.

Math is not physics, its pure logic.

Mathematics at the primary level is non-logical.

Almost every modern mathematical theory starts from a given set of non-logical axioms. (wikipedia.axiom)

All formal systems, including logic, start from axioms.

Correct, though the axioms themselves are non-logical.

The axioms are like this tiny tiny percentage of math. Most of the work of math involves application of logic.

Youre right tho. Its not pure logic. Just very very mostly.

What is "pure" logic? Logic is an axiomatic formal system, like math. In fact, there are many logics, depending on the axioms you select.

Hmm. Yeah. I'm chaining my mind. Now youre right.

Strange and vague accusation still no substance. Wasn't that you who posted about the ground radar? (if not, fine, but that was an example of pretend knowledge) That got busted to bits. Did we hear an apology? No. Did the poster talking about if fess up and come clean about the foolishness of the claim? No. Instead we see the false bravado and empty religious jargon.

Ho hum

Apologise for what? An empty claim that you made with absolutely zero substance and when questioned on it, you decided to try and attack what you think are my religious beliefs?

Physician, heal thyself.
